Sort allows a custom sorting function.
Try this:
sub mySrt {
... some logic to produce the desired order,
returning -1, 0, or 1
}
@files = sort mySrt readdir(Favorites);
Personally, though, I prefer splitting that sort of task into steps.
> @files = readdir(Favorites);
@dirs = sort grep { -d } @files;
@plain = sort grep { ! -d } @files; # forgot to sort this 1st post
@files = (@dirs,@plain);
Now @files is the directories in sorted order, then everything else in
sorted order.
